Why Mohs Surgery?

Skin cancer is a scary issue to deal with. Luckily, it is one of the most treatable forms of cancer and there are many ways to treat skin cancer. It’s important that your dermatologist has a way to remove all of the cancerous cells without harming many healthy cells. In order to do this, your dermatologist will use a technique known as Mohs surgery. Dr. Alison Fischer, Dr. Robert Fischer, and Dr. David Minor at Southside Dermatology in Tulsa, Muskogee, and Broken Arrow, OK, can explain what Mohs surgery is and why it is so important.

The Importance of Mohs Surgery

When it comes to dealing with skin cancer, it’s crucial that your dermatologist is able to remove all signs of cancer as early as possible to ensure that it doesn’t spread throughout your body. This procedure is very intricate and is one of the most reliable ways to ensure that all the cancer is removed from your body. Our dermatologists in Tulsa, Muskogee, and Broken Arrow, OK, will walk you through the steps of Mohs surgery to make sure you feel comfortable and understand that this is the best way to remove cancer.

Mohs surgery helps your dermatologist get all of the skin cancer out of your body without hurting the healthy skin around it. This helps your body heal and keeps as much of your healthy skin intact as possible. Mohs surgery also means that you can go home that same day and you won’t need to stay overnight in the hospital.

Our dermatologist will remove a layer of skin at a time, checking each layer under a microscope. The procedure stops when there is no more skin cancer to be found.
